Last night on Body of Proof one story line was about Dr. Hunt being jealous of Dr. Murphy's influence on Dr. Hunt's daughter Lacey. Dr. Murphy is dating Dr. Hunt's ex husband. Lacey wanted to buy some shoes that she had seen Dr. Murphy wear. I think Lacey is 14. They were very high-heeled with leather straps up all the way up over the ankle and with a zipper. And Dr. Hunt's problem was that she didn't want her daughter to be influenced by another woman. She didn't want to be usurped as mother.
WTF? How about the fact that Lacey is way too young to wear bondage f-me pumps? How about using it as an opening to talk to her daughter about what's age-appropriate? And about how men will perceive her if she wears overtly sexual clothes or shoes when she is so young? It looks a lot different on a teenager than a woman in her 30s. How about discussing with your daughter the spectrum of sexuality, and how she gets to choose how much she displays in public? How about telling her she has the option of being modest in public and sexual in private in a committed relationship? And how about telling Lacey that she should not dress like that at her age because men will target her for victimization? Dr. Hunt was incapable of doing any of this, she was just jealous of another woman's influence in her daughter. What a shallow, petty character.
The only question is, do they intend her to be such an immature brat, or do they not even realize that's what they've written. I'd bet on the latter.
